We discretized the leukocyte membrane by subdividing the contact zone into arbitrary units of functionality (hereafter, membrane unit).
COPASI is a software application used for simulating and analyzing biochemical networks, and it provides many useful functionalities such as stochastic and deterministic time course simulation, steady state analysis, metabolic control analysis and optimisation of arbitrary objective functions.
In line with this, a recent experimental study demonstrated that arbitrary sequences can evolve towards functionality when fused with other pre-existing protein modules [ 28].
Specific functionality includes: (i) selection of arbitrary subnetworks using a graphical editor provided by Cytoscape; and (ii) defining special interest networks based on network motifs, cycles, modules, shortest paths determined by existing Cytoscape plug-ins, such as SubgraphCreator.
This model has several functionalities: First, it ensures authentication for arbitrary composite Web services over Internet.
Arbitrary modules can be dynamically loaded to replace default functionality, resulting in a platform that can easily adapt to application specific requirements.
In addition, defining gene families based on features of demonstrable functionality (domains) should provide a more functionally cohesive grouping compared to assigning genes to families based on often rather arbitrary sequence similarity cut-offs.
We decided to fractionate MSC-CM based on functionality using affinity-based methods rather than other arbitrary molecular criteria such as size or hydrophobicity.
(It is a somewhat stronger version of the 'Doctrine of Arbitrary Undetached Parts' attacked by van Inwagen (1981).) Together with Functionality, Arbitrary Partition entails that simple things (things that lack proper parts) do not have complex (non-simple) exact locations.
